I had a very traumatic childhood where i wasn’t allowed to show negative emotions so i learned to always smile and learn to process my negative emotions in a positive way. If my day my week my month or even my year (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) has been shitty I simile to myself and think how ridiculous it is i find ways to make all the bad parts into punch lines for a joke

I also learn to accept that once something happened it is in the past and it won’t change. My dad ran me over 5 times with a car and has done worse to me that’s in the past tho so I can’t let it control me. Last week a man called me a slur at work. As much as that upset me at the time it doesn’t serve me to still be upset and worked up about it now. It gives the bad feeling power.
